Which side of the plane to sit from Las Américas International Airport (Santo Domingo) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Dominican northern coast upon departure and the iconic Paris skyline during the approach to Orly.
Samaná Peninsula
Vibrant turquoise waters and lush green hills of the Dominican Republic's northern coast during departure.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic, often catching the first light of dawn on overnight flights.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged cliffs and rocky inlets of western France as the aircraft transitions from ocean to land.
Paris Cityscape
Optimal chances to see the Eiffel Tower and the skyline of Paris on the final approach into Orly.
Choose the left side for morning arrivals to avoid direct sunlight and gain a better chance of spotting the Eiffel Tower. Look out within the first 20 minutes for the Samaná Peninsula.
Punta Cana Coast
Aerial views of the white sand beaches and luxury resorts at the eastern tip of Hispaniola.
Cloud Formations
Spectacular Atlantic cloudscapes and the occasional silhouette of shipping vessels far below.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire river and glimpses of historic chateaus dotting the French countryside.
Fontainebleau Forest
Vast stretches of greenery and the southern Parisian estates during the final descent stages.
The right side is ideal for seeing the eastern beaches of the Dominican Republic shortly after takeoff. Be aware that direct sunlight will be on this side during sunrise on eastbound flights.
